Let's not try to make a story where one doesn't exist.

Saunders was fired and Zorn named the OC before he was named head coach so it is a bit unfair to say that Saunders was fired because he was not a WCO guy. While Hogtimus Prime is far to negative on Campbell IMO, there was some talk (i.e. LaCanfora) during the coaching search that Snyder was upset that the offense seemed to open up so much with Todd Collins at QB and apparently there was some feeling from the higher ups that Saunders had kept the training wheels on Campbell for too long. So, while Hogtimus clearly is off-base in blaming Campbell for Saunders' firing (in so much as he implies that Campbell played soooo horribly that Saunders had to go - did you actually watch him play last year?) he is not wholly incorrect in saying that there was some correlation between Campbell and Saunders demise in D.C. (though it is a bit of a stretch to get from his point to the one I propose here).
